As usual our control of the speed of the PTB was terrible far too often Rovers were allowed to get quick PTBs and letting their forwards get on their front compared to us where was only Lineham who offered any kind of speed and urgency when playing the ball.

Wasn't a big fan of how much Houghton and Heremaia were moving laterally when jumping out of acting half, it seemed as though yesterday we just didn't want to go down the middle and was far too obsessed with spreading the ball quickly which looked good but with little effect.

and I would chose the Rovers pair over the FC duo!

I think it must have been you sat slumped in your seat in front of me yesterday

the positives from yesterday were few but thought Seymore had a cracking game and looked fittest he has been at FC, seemed to have lost some weight too,
Green was VERY agressive and looks a future international to me, came on and got the forwards fired up ..
DH was his usual self
Ellis was class IMO and was everywhere , we just gotta learn to support him now.
Mac will be better for that run out against his old club and looked ok .

sorry again but Horne would be ten yards faster if he took off all that padding, looked like the last three seasons again,
Omeley is a trundler now and i cant see many barnstorming runs coming from his legs this year, he was blowing like the flying scotsman after 10 mins on pitch!!
and even lynch looked tired before he got going IMO

as they say though its not how we atart its how we finish that matters
after 2 games ::::::: very average so far is the report

The best 7 in SL IMO.

Rovers would be fooked if he gets injured for a long period.

Cant argue with any of that to be honest.

Agree , more or less. I wasn't annoyed , just disappointed because I wanted , as I'm sure AP did , this to be a platform for more pass sales , positivity and just to see the green shoots of entertaining rugby. I don't think the club hyped up Galea and didn't go overboard about Holdsworth either but generally I would think far from being an extreme and negative view , it's probably what's going through PG and AP's minds. PG almost said as much and accepts that it wasn't good enough.

In all fairness, we need to wait for Holdsworth to settle into the team and hopefully form a partnership with Seymour. We also need to wait for the other new faces to really gel with the rest of the squad and adapt to our style of play.

I'd say the majority of the problems we've seen in the past two games are teething problems rather than actual problems, too many dropped balls and mistimed passes meant we didn't get anywhere against Rovers. I'd give the new signings a few games before really passing judgement.

i agree ,we was going to leeds but after sunday we will save our cash and watch on sky thats 5 not going next week now.the team and management need to walk the walk not talk the talk had enough of that with the last lot .....

i would rather go with lineham/yeaman on the right crooks /briscoe on the left

it was a friendly get over it and get to leeds

It's unbelievable that a club who's fans believe it should be challenging for the top 4, or 6 at worst, don't even know who their starting halves will be less than two weeks before the first game of the season

I feel amazing, i have no worries at all. Hull FC should have nothing to worry about.

I have realised this over the last hour or so.

Love radio humberside me

eh! whats been said?

2 hours of golden sock fest from Gollum

So you will play all four out of position

Why are they all out of position? Lineham has played on both wings for us, Yeaman is always on the left yes, Crooks has played both centre spots for us and Briscoe is our left choice winger but has played on the right for England?

So I don't get your point at all, there not 'all out of position'.

As long as the coach does there,s not really a problem

stop the presses, coach tries out new halfback with different partners in pre-season games, it's breaking news!

no such thing as a derby friendly and after pg said that wont happen again last season i belived him. as i have said before talk is cheap

yeamans poor hands(and strong defence) make him ideal right centre to thwart the oppositions strike centre. crooks n briscoe looked a lot better as a strike pairing last season.then challenge the 2 new lads to prove they are better,for me so far the are not but hope i am proved wrong

Yes. Yes there is. Get over it.

Mate I agree with Kosh.
Get over it, as disappointing as the result and style of play was it was a meaningless friendly and I'm sure PG will have seen what he needs too and will work on it.
Get yourself to Leeds and stop sulking over this 1 game, we did alright last season after a similar start.

Dear o dear

That classov 78, was it a drama queen class?

no thats the year of my first fc game so hardly a drama queen after 35 years some good some bad hense i feel well within my rights to vent my frustrations .how long you been going isaiah
